The Union City police chief’s teenage son was arrested Wednesday in connection with a brutal attack on a 71-year-old Sikh man in Manteca, and detectives are trying to determine if the attack was a hate crime.
Surveillance footage from a nearby home released by the Manteca Police Department allegedly shows Tyrone Keith McAllister, 18, the son of Union City Police Chief Darryl McAllister, and a 16-year-old boy confronting Sahbit Singh Natt, who was taking his daily walk Monday morning along Greystone Park on Turquoise Way.
Footage shows two people walk up to Natt at around 6 a.m. when one of the individuals, wearing a dark hoodie and jeans, suddenly kicks him to the ground, police said. The attacker, identified by police as Tyrone McAllister, and another assailant then walk out of frame, leaving Natt writhing in pain on the ground. The video then shows the suspect idenfied as Tyrone McAllister charging back and delivering at least three kicks to Natt’s head and upper body before yelling something inaudible and fleeing the scene.
One of the two suspects also might have waved a gun in the air, police said.
“The Sikh community is a tight-knit community and after the assault, the victim went to the community leaders and they brought him to the Police Department,” said Sgt. Stephen Schluer, a Manteca police spokesman.
Natt spoke to detectives with the help of an interpreter, Schluer said, and he told police that his assailants “asked him for some type of money” before he was attacked. He was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and released. On Tuesday night, he attended a rally condemning the attack at the park where he was assaulted just the day before, along with members of the Sikh community.

It's not being considered a hate crime. The reason is obvious to me anyway.
You mean “tyrone” isn’t amish?
You’d have to be a kneegro to not know that Sikh’s aren’t middle eastern Jihadists. Every Sikh I’ve ever met has been incredibly good folks.
Of course it's obvious. Hate is a motive not the crime.
Paging Hollyweird Dingbat Anne Hathaway, pick up the Black Courtesy phone.
Boy how horrible this is for his family. his community and our country.
The suspect’s father, the Chief of Police, said all the right things in the article’s quote, save one: “I am suspending myself until further notice.”
Union City is right next to Fremont, and Fremont has lots of Sikhs. Someone from Union City, even a dumb punk kid, should know who Sikhs are, and what they are about.
Here are some Sikh “yutes” from Fremont.

I’ve found that the average Sikh speaks better English than most Americans and has the courtesy and respect of someone you typically see in the military.
“You’d have to be a kneegro to not know that Sikh’s aren’t middle eastern Jihadists.”
Why would that be? From what I’ve read since 911, most of these attacks (against Sikhs mistaken for adherents of the ROP) have been committed by ignirant white folks.
It would be nice if that was applied evenly.
That’s really Sikh.
Charge for the crime, not a person's thought.
It’s not too inaccurate to describe Sikhism as an anti-Islamic military cult.
I agree . Sikhs rock !
the chief should have kept better command and control of his little gang banger wannbe worm haired son ,
I see this look all the time ; it is the curse of Obama . The hatred for everyone not black , which Obama unleashed in this country . It has to be rooted out once and for all . Ban rap music to start with .
How many have there been?
